The original Hanging Light Fixture, as designed by Peter Hamburger in 1966, resembles six acrobatic glow sticks, suspended in midair. It’s a relatively simple design that, thanks to strategic crisscrossing of said glow sticks, takes on a novel shape any time you switch angles. And until now, it’s existed only in MoMA’s permanent collection.

Hamburger collaborated on the original with German lighting designer Ingo Maurer, and Maurer’s affection for the floating structure has prompted him to re-create the lamp for the 21st century. The 1960s version of the Hanging Light Fixture used lumiline bulbs, which are similar to fluorescent lights, and die quickly. Longer lasting LED lights are the updated choice (and the mandatory one, soon: Ikea, for example, is going 100% LED, and phasing out all of their lighting products that don’t fit the bill), so Maurer has taken on the task of bringing back a reincarnated version of the original, outfitted for today’s consumer. The LEDs make the cost jump up but preserve the glow in the glass and acrylic tubes for far longer, which seems like the only logical choice–can anyone imagine changing those light bulbs?

It’s still in the prototype stage, and will be on display at Ingo Maurer in New York starting May 17.
